Diameter/Radius¶

Location:

     X-Caliper tab > Feature/History group > (Diameter/Radius)

The Diameter/Radius command button enables you to select any point on the wall of a cylinder or hole to analyze the distance from that point to the opposite end wall of the cylinder or hole. Once the command button is active, click in the graphical display on the point you wish to measure from. Notice that a blue arrow will point outwards from the selection point towards the wall it will be measuring towards, helping you to make certain you are selecting the right plane. The information will be displayed in your Logger as shown below:

Additionally, the distance measurement will then be superimposed on the material at the point where the measure was taken in the View window as shown below:

This measurement will display only so long as any of the Feature/History group command buttons are active. All measurements will disappear once none of these buttons are active but the measurements can be viewed again by turning on one of these command buttons. This feature can also be edited by left-clicking on the measurement thus displaying the following menu:

Remove Dimension — clicking the red x deletes the measurement permanently.

Diameter — select this option to measure from one end of the circle to its opposite end.

Center — select this option to find the mid point of the circle.

📝 NOTE: The above two circle features can also be found in the X-Caliper Dimensions group.

Edit Prefix — use this feature to edit in text that will appear before the measurement via a text edit window. Click Default on the edit window that appears to remove entered text.

Edit Suffix — use this feature to edit in text that will appear after the measurement via a text edit window. Click Default on the edit window that appears to remove entered text.
